There is one goal for us
One challenge that brings so much
To live. No,
To live
There is but one way to truly feel
That is to live, of course
For without life, there is no love
No hate
No emotions upon which we depend
Would you rather survive?
Chew upon the mundane and unexciting?
That, my dear friend, is not living
Yes,
To live thrusts risk onto oneself
The risk of heartbreak and betrayal and devastation
But, without the dark there would be no light
To live is to be,
And to be,
Is the answer
